Tutor’s Suggestions

Always try the crocheted cover on your plastic egg as you go to ensure a snug fit.
Mark off each row on paper to avoid losing count, especially during long rounds.
If you can’t find plastic eggs, stuff your cover with fiberfill for plush decorations.
Use ribbon with a shiny side facing out for best presentation.
Be careful when cutting and gluing ribbon for the bow to ensure neatness.
